Cliffhanger
Hang on.
Directed by Renny Harlin
Produced by Carolco Pictures, Le Studio Canal+
A high-octane mountain-set action thriller that pairs spectacular climbing sequences with a heist-gone-wrong plot, driven by a protagonist haunted by past trauma.
A year after losing his friend in a tragic 4,000-foot fall, former ranger Gabe Walker and his partner, Hal, are called to return to the same peak to rescue a group of stranded climbers, only to learn the climbers are actually thieving hijackers who are looking for boxes full of money.
